(00:15:34) Mr. ALTMAN. I believe that FIRREA, the law FIRREA permits, in this case, the Treasury to-it says here, "the RTC is authorized to utilize the employees of the FDIC or, on consent, the personnel of any other Executive Department or Agency. As interim CEO of the RTC, Mr. Altman exercised all of the powers of the RTC and thus was authorized to use the time of Treasury personnel on RTC matters." Senator DODD. So that's the authority? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator DODD. I might just ask you at some point here to submit to us, to this Committee a more formal set of recommendations on how we avoid this kind of mess in the future. Mr. ALTMAN, Yes, sir. Senator DODD. I yield back my time. Senator DOMENICI. Senator Dodd, do you have a couple of seconds? Could I just clarify something and ask you if you knew this: A lot of comments have been made about the Office of Government Ethics and their report. It's my understanding that they only spoke to employees of the Treasury Department. Now that's a very big difference because this whole dispute is a dispute between what Treasury Department people say and what White House people say. So with reference to that, it does seem to me that the conclusion is a conclusion about the Department of the Treasury, but not about the myriad of people players involved in this. Can somebody tell me if I'm right or wrong? Senator DODD. Well, I don't know. You may be right. All I'm saying is that because when I first heard about this, it sounded to me like it was somewhat like a Treasury operation looking at itself and I'm a little suspicious when people look at themselves. I felt much better about it when I was told that it was an independent operation. I think I'm correct in that. Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, Senator. Senator DODD. And two, the person who beads it was a Republican appointee who's been maintained and kept on the job as I understand it. These are not people necessarily who are trying to protect anybody or cover an body. Now, maybe, their mandate should be broader, to look at other people and that may be the case, but they struck me as being pretty straightforward honest people who don't have an axe to grind or to cover anybody's act up. If they thought something was done , I think they'd tell us. Senator DOMENICI. I didn't say that. 511 Senator DODD. My point is, I think we've got to understand who these people are. The CHAIRMAN. Well, let me Just Say to the Members here several people are seeking recognition. Senator Kerry is, Senator Dodd is finished. By rights, it's supposed to rotate to this side. Is it a parliamentary inquiry that you re making? Senator KERRY. It 's not so much a parliamentary inquiry Mr. Chairman, as it is an answer to the question that was asked by the Senator from New Mexico. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Gramm is next in the order. Would you be willing to yield for a moment Senator GRAMM. Not on my time, I wouldn't, I would be willing to withhold and let him go ahead. The CHAIRMAN. He's prepared to withhold, Senator Kerry. Why don't you make your point. Senator KERRY. The point I was going to make, I simply wanted to answer my friend. I would think that he ought to take he may not have hag the time yet and I'm sure he will want to read this and will, but the report from the Office of Government Ethics makes it very clear that as to the meeting in February that there was no disclosure of nonpublic information in any way that was a violation, No. 1; and No. 2, that there was no furtherance of anybody's own interest or that of another. And therefore, there was no ethical violation as to that meeting. In addition to that, with respect to Mr. Altman personally----and this is by name, this is not generic-it found that as to the meeting with Mr. Ickes on the discussion with respect to recusal there was also no violation. Now, in fairness it did leave open a question with respect to Mr. Altman's role on September 29 Sim simply because there wasn't adeluate information on the 1993 disclosure by Ms. Hanson. It did find the disclosure by Ms. Hanson did not violate ate the rules. You have an independent ruling as to three tiers with respect to Mr. Altman and Ms. Hanson, but there is one open question remaining Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, Senator Domenici. Senator DOMENICI. Yes, sir.

(00:20:17) Senator SARBANES. To respond very specifically to your question - because I have here now the two volumes from the OGE. Apparently they did take depositions of a number of the White House people including Eggleston, Gearan, Ickes, Lindsey, McLarty, Nuss- baum, Sloan, Stephanopoulos and Williams, so they're in these volumes and they did take their depositions. Senator DOMENICI. I was misinformed, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Gramm. GRAMM. Mr. Chairman, I don't want to spend any time ask a question on it, but since it's been raised I want read two statements from this so- called ethics report. One is Senator DODD. What do you mean, "so- called ethics report"? Senator GRAMM. Well, if you wish, this ethics report. OK Let me read the statements. "We believe that you could conclude that the Senator DAMATO. How come you get to be so outraged all the time? 512 Senator GRAMM. Let me just read two statements. I'll get my questions. "We believe that you could conclude that the appearance ciple was not violated by Ms. Hanson's disclosure." That is est standard that you could set. You could conclude that it violated. They don't conclude it wasn't violated. They just say could conclude. Second, they say "we feel there is insufficient information to en- able us to provide you with any further analysis of Mr. Altman's participation in this disclosure if any." If this is a fig leaf, it's mighty small fig leaf. Now, let me go back to Mr. D'Amato's point and make several quick points that are important. If the issue of whether or not Mr Altman told this Committee something that was not true is not rel- evant, I wonder what is. Whether you are a Democrat or Repub- lican, no matter who your I loyalties are to, it is a relevant issue here as to whether a witness before this Committee tells the truth. We have established here at several different points that, in fact, the truth was not told to this Committee, Since Mr. D'Amato speaks in a strange dialect that some of us have trouble understanding, maybe it wasn't clear what be was saying, but for the rest of the country, let me translate. What he was saying is this: He asked a question. Did anyone request this meeting to which Mr. Altman referred? Mr. Altman is on the record saying, and I quote, "I requested the meeting." Then Mr. D'Amato says, "was there any other meeting that may have been requested?" To which Mr. Altman says, "no." Now, it is true that Mr. D'Amato's next statement, which Mr. D'Amato said in a question, was, "there was no other meeting that you were aware of that the White House Counsel requested?" The point is, that Mr. D'Amato never uttered that word about the White House until you first-had said, "no." So unless you have the a ability to look into Mr. D'Amato's mind you could never have known that he was going to say anything about the White House, which is your change in the question. That could not have been known by you in advance. But even if it could have been known, even if your mental Powers allowed you to look into Mr. D'Amato's mind, then Mr. Domenici subsequently it asked you directly, when you kept using this evasive term about substantive contact"-and we're not talking about meetings here, we're talking about contacts. And Senator Domenici says you're not suggesting there were any other contacts. He's not saying anything about the White House setting them up or who- ever was setting them up. And you say, "no." That is why Mr. D'Amato's statement is very, very important. submit that we are wasting our time, and we're wasting the air waves of the Nation, if it is not relevant when a witness tells us something that is not so. Now 2 hours ago when I had the floor Mr. ALTMAN. May I respond to that? Senator GRAMM, If you would do it very briefly. Senator DODD. If my colleague would yield just on the one point, I never said it wasn't relevant. My point simply was that I thought two people could draw different conclusions. 513 Senator GRAMM. They couldn't on three occasions, though, Chris. On three occasions, there was a point blank question. But I don't yield. I've got some things that I want to develop in the short time I have. I'm sorry, I love my colleagues. If, Mr. Altman, you could give me a short answer.

August 2, 1994 - Part 10
(00:25:24) Mr. ALTMAN. Senator you said I think that we've now established that the truth wasn't told. I respect your judgment, but that is not-I do not believe that. Let me say two quick things: First of all, I used the term "substantive contact." I meant that in relation to the RTC investigation of Madison. That is what I meant. You may not agree with that definition but that is what I meant. Second, my response to Senator Domenici may not have been a great response, but I said I'm not counting certain trivial or incidental contacts. That's what I did say. Senator GRAMM. Meeting people in the hallway you said. It was not that it wasn't a great response, Mr. Altman, the point is that it was not the truth. That is the problem. Mr. ALTMAN. No, Senator, you're wrong. My response made quite clear that there had been other contacts. I don't think you can read my response any other way than that. Senator GRAMM. I'll read it exactly. You keep going on with this evasive language. And Senator Domenici says, "Well, I assume we are not arguing there that you had-you are not suggesting you had more than one are you?" That's obvious. Did you have more than one meeting? He's not saying "Substantive meeting." In fact., he is challenging your evasive term, to which you say, "No." Now what part of no don't you understand? Mr. ALTMAN. I then go on to say, "I'm not counting-" Senator GRAMM. You go on to say, "I am just saying that if you run into someone in the all, if nu see that thing in the paper this morning, I'm not including that." You're not suggesting the meeting on November 3 was running into somebody in the hall, are you? Mr. ALTMAN. What I was trying to say, Senator, was that Senator GRAMM. Are you saying that the February 3 meeting running into somebody in the hall? Mr. ALTMAN. What I was trying to say, Senator, was that I wasn't counting contacts that I consider incidental, but let me just Senator GRAMM. Incidental? You call up and ask somebody to let come over to the White House to talk to them, and call that incidental? Mr. ALTMAN. Had nothing to do with the RTC investigation of Senator GRAMM. I want to stop, because I want to get to my questions. ALTMAN. I do want to say, Senator, if I misinterpreted the question, I do apologize, I do, Senator GRAMM. No one with your background and education intellect could have, in my opinion, misinterpreted that question. Both of us know something about securities law. You made your living, and a good living, at it, I might say. Securities law requires full disclosure of anything that a reasonable man would con- sider material in making a decision. A material omission of fact is 514 just as much a violation as a misstatement. That is the principle-", that governs a profession you have been in most of your life. Now I want to ask my question. Mr. ALTMAN. You remember, of course, that Mr. Fiske looked into this. Senator GRAMM. Two hours ago I tried to talk about this meeting that you asked for on February 3. 1 said that it appeared to me from sworn testimony that Maggie Williams said you called her to set it up. You said that you called Mr. Ickes to set it up. it seems to me that maybe the logic is that you would have called Mr. Ickes, because he is the Deputy Chief of Staff, whereas Maggie Williams works for the First Lady. So maybe you were right on that, but I want again to read what Maggie Williams says you said. "Well, Roger called me and be said to me, I've decided not to recuse. And he said I want to tell some people in the White House' that. And I mean I remember thinking to myself so tell them. And then he said I'm on my way to a meeting, but I would like to get a few people together and tell them and I thought OK And he said could you grab a few people and get a few people or call a few peo- le and I said OK" Then she goes on to say that she called Harold, Geoge, and Eggleston. You remember that you set this up with Ickes, and I guess that makes more sense, because he worked for the President and the White House, not for the First Lady. Where was the meeting? Mr. ALTMAN. The meeting was in the West Wing. I can't remember precisely where it was. Senator GRAMM. The meeting was in Maggie Williams' office, and we have four sworn statements to that effect. Mr. ALTMAN. Senator, I believe I called Mr. Ickes. I believe that firmly, that's my best recollection and I believe it to be true. Senator GRAMM. Can I ask you a question? Let's assume that Mace Williams is not telling a falsehood, and let's assume that, in act, if it was in her office, the odds are probable that she's right and you're wrong. Most people don't--I don't set up meetings in Mr. D'Amato's office, but let's just assume she's right. Why on earth would you call the Chief of Staff of the First Lady of the United States to talk about this issue?

(00:30:34) Mr. ALTMAN. Senator Senator GRAMM. What relevance, what possible relevance, could this have to her? Mr. ALTMAN. Senator, first of all, all we're talking about is how the meeting came about, not what was at the meeting. Senator GRAMM. I'm sorry, please, just answer my question. What possible relevance could anything you have-could have said to her about the RTC or recusal, what possible relevance could it have to her? Mr. ALTMAN. Again, Senator, I believe I called Mr. Ickes and I had this conversation primarily with Mr. Ickes. Let me point out to you, you have sworn testimony from the participants in the February 2 meeting, some of whom say the meeting took lace in Mr. Nussbaum's office and some of whom say it took place in Mr. McLarty's office. Senator GRAMM. Well, I don't have any such disputes on this particular meeting. I have all of these different 515 Mr. ALTMAN. I'm just pointing out, people can recollect these differently. I don't dispute the essence of the meeting. I just things happen to think I called Mr. Ickes. Senator SARBANES. Senator Sasser. Senator SASSER. You know, sometimes I think Mr. Chairman we could save a lot of time here if we can excuse the witnesses and let the Senators make their speeches and read the record and give their interpretation of the record. I think that might get through these hearings faster and don't even need the witnesses make our points. Let me see if I can be brief. The hour is late and Mr. Altman has been sitting in this Chair now, for what, almost 8 hours. Mr. Altman, at the February 2 meeting-and this is the big meeting in Mr. McLarty's office Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator SASSER. -Did Mr. Nussbaum or anyone else make any effort to influence the RTCs consideration of bringing civil litigation on the Madison question? Mr. ALTMAN. No, sir. Senator SASSER. Well, let me ask you this: Are you aware of any effort by anyone in the Administration, on the outside of the RTC, impede the RTC from submitting its criminal referrals to the Justice Department on this matter? Mr. ALTMAN, No, sir. Senator SASSER. Are you aware of any effort by anyone in the administration, outside of the RTC, to influence-are you aware of effort by anyone in the Administration to impede the RTC from submitting the criminal referrals to the Justice Department? Mr. ALTMAN. No, sir. As you know, I don't believe there's a shred evidence to the effect that the criminal referrals were delayed, compromised, altered, or affected whatsoever, Senator SASSER. The criminal referrals were, in fact, made to Justice? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator SASSER. Now have you read these criminal referrals? Mr. ALTMAN. No, sir. Senator SASSER. Have you read any of the substantive papers on which the referrals were based? ALTMAN. No, sir. Senator SASSER. To your knowledge, did the RTC handle the Madison referral any differently than the way it handles other re- ALTMAN. No, sir. Senator SASSER. Now, Mr. Altman, Senator Dodd, I thought, did job sort of giving some perspective to this whole conbut when you became Interim Chief Executive Offi- the RTC on March 16, 1993, how long did you expect to hold position? ALTMAN. Only until the Administration's nominee for permanent chairperson was confirmed, and I thought that would be and then I could leave after a short time, As you know--- say "as you know"--- didn't want the job. I knew it was Senator SASSER. The RTC was a bag of worms, right? 516 Mr. ALTMAN. I knew that. Senator SASSER. And not many people wanted to be associated with the RTC. Mr. ALTMAN. But I thought it would be pretty quick and we get our nominee up pretty soon after that, but it ran into trouble and didn't work. Senator SASSER. All right now. During this period in 199 much time were you -spending on the business of the Res Trust Corporation? Mr. ALTMAN. We typically bad biweekly staff meetings. Senator SASSER. Yes, about 4 hours a week, I think you said. Mr. ALTMAN. Three or 4 hours. Senator SASSER. Three or 4 hours a week. Now during this period of time, I remember seeing you here in the Capitol on a num0 ber of occasions when the Administration was getting its budget approved which took up a large portion of 1993. Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, Sir.
